Planning and Development Act 2007—variation No 361 to the Territory Plan

MR GENTLEMAN (Brindabella—Manager of Government Business, Minister for Advanced Technology and Space Industries, Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Minister for Planning and Land Management, Minister for Police and Emergency Services and Minister for Urban Renewal) (2.38): Pursuant to standing order 211, I move:

That the Assembly take note of the following paper:

Planning and Development Act, pursuant to subsection 79(1)—Approval of Variation No 361 to the Territory Plan—Kippax Group Centre—Zone Change and Amendments to the Holt Precinct Map and Code, dated 25 June 2020.

The variation implements the recommendations of the Kippax group centre master plan, which was prepared as part of the ACT government’s initiative to encourage the rejuvenation of selected commercial centres and to focus development within the centre over the next 10 to 20 years. Consistent with the directions of the Kippax group centre master plan, the variation will enable the retail expansion of the Kippax Group Centre, thereby providing a strong economic stimulus in West Belconnen.

The expansion of the centre is essential to meet the needs of the growing population in this area, and Kippax is strategically located to become a large group centre and central commercial hub to meet the needs of the community of Holt and the surrounding suburbs, as well as the new suburbs of west Belconnen such as Strathnairn.

During the development of the Kippax group centre master plan significant community engagement was undertaken in four separate stages. The first two stages related to the preparation of the draft master plan. This initially considered the expansion of the shopping centre onto the surface car parks to the west of the centre.
